"My kids have been attending online chess classes through UrbanPro, conducted by Mr. Aruna Dinakara, since August 2025, and we are extremely happy with their progress. They have improved significantly and are doing very well now. Aruna sir’s attention to each child is truly impressive. He is very patient, focused, and ensures that every student understands the concepts clearly. His teaching style is engaging and easy to follow, which keeps the children interested and motivated. The study materials shared by him are well-structured and very helpful for practice and revision. Most importantly, my kids are genuinely enjoying the classes and have developed a strong interest and love for chess. I highly recommend Mr. Aruna Dinakara’s online chess classes to parents who are looking for quality chess coaching for their children. "
